No.. that isn't the "born-again" experience. When one gives their life to Jesus Christ - we become the Temple of the Holy Spirit - a new creation:

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 [Full Chapter]
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Notice: present tense not future.

again the idea is reinforced of the resurrection of the spirit at John 5:28-29


this is idolatry; which the bible doesn't promote. again a delusion of limit as the way is through a man named jesus. god is not a man, nor son of man. god is not limited to such a thing created/destroyed. you cannot kill god. you can delude yourself in ignoring it but that again is delusional. to believe and to serve is to serve love(god) not a man.


we are called to honor both the creator and the created, that doesn't make one son of god exclusive and the others ignored. psalms 46:10 says to exalt god in the earth. diverse measures and diverse weights are an abomination to the lord. psalm


John 5:41-John 5:43“I do not receive honor from men. But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you. I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.


the service is through love; which is the Spirit resurrected from sleep, forgetfulness. the first death is the spirit becoming imprisoned in the flesh, birth of the flesh. the second death has no power over those who have been resurrected, birth of the spirit from flesh..

The quote from Jesus was "Father". Now, whether you choose to see it otherwise is within your prerogative.

I understand your position... however, I choose to go by what is written and not personal opinion.

the word also means generator. again in a patriarchal society the language usually defaults to the masculine when a mix of genders is being referenced.. again it shows a personal bias to define, control god in the egos image



generator or male ancestor

  1. either the nearest ancestor: father of the corporeal nature, natural fathers, both parents


G3962 - patēr - Strong's Greek Lexicon (KJV)

God created heaven and earth. This is the biblical cosmology. He is everywhere and at the same time beyond:

Thus says the LORD:
“Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool."(Isaiah 66:1)

... behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain you... (1 Kings 8:27; 2 Chronicles 6:18; 2 Chronicles 2:6)

How is he unseen yet seen at the same time?

  1. generator or male ancestor
    1. either the nearest ancestor: father of the corporeal nature, natural fathers, both parents
    2. a more remote ancestor, the founder of a family or tribe, progenitor of a people, forefather: so Abraham is called, Jacob and David
      1. fathers i.e. ancestors, forefathers, founders of a nation
    3. one advanced in years, a senior

    God isn't "both parents" he is The Father... not Father and mother nor fathers (pl)

jesus said that god isn't on the mountain, nor in Jerusalem, not in the desert, or in the closet/inner rooms(giggles); so where in the world is god?

I believe He is everywhere.

Do you have any quotes?

I believe this verse dos not say where God is but rather that one need not to look for Him in a specific place.

I believe this is not about God in His spiritual state but of God in the body of Jesus. God is still everywhere while He is in the body of Jesus.

Exactly. Anyone can have a fantasy about any God, any type of God. There are a thousand different Gods people have imagined to exist. Unless you believe every God ever imagined actually exists.

god is both. even the hebrews refer to god in the feminine


The Feminine Imagery of God in the Hebrew Bible


god is a spirit. that spirit is both male/female


galatians 3:28

Or both form and movement. Which is spirit. Yet we cannot comprehend spirit so it is written for us in physical terms we can understand because we are physical
Click to expand...
no, forms are created/destroyed. this is why it is written in genesis 1:2.


god is exclusively no thing and inclusively everything.

Yet. No one can describe spirit not even you. It would be like describing what the wind looks like. So God is a person as that is what we told. This is how we see him in physical terms rather than trying to attach physical reasoning to spiritual terms.

The spirit of God is described as the finger of God. Can I be sitting in my car and have my finger outside the window at the same time? Conversely can God sit in heaven and have his finger elsewhere at the same time?

god is not in heaven alone. god is omnipresent.


If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

He's in heaven and his finger is wherever he wants it to be. Omnipresent is a made up word
